Young girls texing sex

Background[ edit ] The first published use of the term sexting was in a article in the Australian Sunday Telegraph Magazine. Exchanges between partners that are shared with others outside the relationship. Exchanges between people who are not yet in a relationship, but where at least one person hopes to be. Sexting has become more common with the rise in camera phones and smartphones with Internet access, that can be used to send explicit photographs as well as messages. Young adults use the medium of the text message much more than any other new media to transmit messages of a sexual nature, [7] and teenagers who have unlimited text messaging plans are more likely to receive sexually explicit texts. Whether sexting is seen as a positive or negative experience typically rests on the basis of whether or not consent was given to share the images.
